Lost Ark’s Martial Artist class just got bigger.

Lost Ark April Update: Glavier & Graceful Monkey skin set

Of course, all eyes are on the new Martial Artist Advanced Class, the Glavier. Wielding the spear and glaive to slice enemies to ribbons, this stunning looking new class can adopt two distinct skill sets depending on how you want to play her.

True masters, however, won’t just pick one of her weapons to specialize in. To truly transform this dazzling creature into a weapon of war, you’ll want to strike the balance and chain both her spear and glaive together to create mind-shattering combos that will have the demons cowering in terror.

Accompanying the Glavier is the mysterious ‘Graceful Monkey’ skin set, a cosmetic that appears to be completely unique to the Martial Arts queen. You’ll be able to purchase it in-store and deck your new character out in the latest fashion.

Beautiful but deadly, the Glavier specializes in quick, lethal attacks.

South Vern

Long have the forgotten shores of South Vern been on players’ bucket lists, and finally Smilegate have cast open the gates and allowed players to visit this proud metropolis.

Boasting an all-new MSQ, as well as new dungeons, chaos dungeons, chaos gates, and field bosses (albeit at a later date), South Vern is a must-visit for those looking for a thrilling adventure.
